Paul Simon has announced a new tour for four months this year.
A Quiet Celebration Tour will play throughout North America in the spring and summer, with Simon performing at intimate venues during the run. The shows support Simon’s latest album, Seven Psalms, which came out in 2023.
In addition to songs from his most recent album, Simon will play classic cuts from his career, including favorites from Simon & Garfunkel.

After the release of Seven Psalms in 2023, Simon said he couldn’t perform live because of hearing loss. In 2024, he noted that some of his hearing had returned and hoped to play some shows again.
The upcoming concerts will be played in smaller, more intimate venues to accommodate Simon’s hearing loss. The concerts start in April in New Orleans and wrap up in August in Seattle.
This past weekend, Simon, with Sabrina Carpenter, kicked off Saturday Night Live‘s 50th anniversary special with a performance of “Homeward Bound.” Simon was one of the program’s earliest supporters, having appeared on the show several times over the past five decades.
Where Is Paul Simon Performing in 2025?
Simon worked with specialists to create a stage setup that would make performing easier for his hearing loss, which started to surface when he recorded the acoustic and mostly solo Seven Psalms.
A Quiet Celebration Tour starts on April 4 with two dates in New Orleans at Saenger Theater. Over the next four months, Simon will play multiple nights in cities such as Denver, Dallas, Nashville, Toronto, New York and Los Angeles before concluding on Aug. 3 with the second of two concerts at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall.
You can see the list of dates below.
Simon’s band for the tour includes viola player Caleb Burhans, percussionist Jamey Haddad), guitarists Gyan Riley and Mark Stewart, keyboardist Mick Rossi, saxophonist Andy Snitzer, flute player Nancy Stagnita, cellist Eugene Friesen (Cello), and drummers Steve Gadd and Matt Chamberlin alternating for performances.
Tickets go on sale Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. local time. More information can be found at Simon’s website.

Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel Albums Ranked
He was always an uneasy folksinger, a role his record company tried to push him into starting with Simon & Garfunkel’s debut.
